In Bacchelli & Villa, situated 30 km north of my birthplace, Maranello, my restoration nears its end.

It has been an exciting few months! My restoration has been progressing with the utmost care and attention to detail. They’ve honored every aspect of my history and tradition, which is something truly special. The Pelle Celeste leather interior has arrived and been fitted—my new light blue leather seats and trim look absolutely stunning. I remember the buzz of anticipation I felt when I was first assembled in Modena. I’d never felt the thrill of the open road, it’s incredible to think that was over 50 years ago—here at Bacchelli & Villa it’s like I’m reliving those final moments all over again but with so much more fondness and appreciation having since traveled the world. I can’t wait for my first road test! I wonder what those first few miles will feel like...

Right now, the team is busy with the final touches. They’re working on the last electrical connections and finishing up the assembly. It’s like they’re putting the final pieces of a puzzle together, making sure everything is perfect. I can almost sense the anticipation building as they prepare me for the next stage.
In just a week, I’ll be ready for testing. I’m excited and a bit nervous, but mostly eager to experience the thrill of the road again. It’s been quite the transformation, and I’m looking forward to showing off my restored self.

Stay tuned for another update—soon, I’ll be ready to hit the road!
